TEENS4PR, INC.

Teens4PR has created a platform to help young people fundraise for hurricane relief and reconstruction in Puerto Rico, which was devastated by two category 4-5 hurricanes, including Hurricane Maria, in September 2017.  Almost a year has gone by and Puerto Rico still has a long way to go.

Teens4PR also seeks to promote love, solidarity and commitment towards Puerto Rico and its people, by bringing second generation Puerto Rican youth living on the mainland United States closer to their Puerto Rican roots, and engaging them in the ecological and economic rebirth of the islands Puerto Rico.

Besides the work involving our young volunteers, our organization helps other organizations and educational institutions plan solidarity trips to Puerto Rico, in an effort to increase awareness and knowledge about Puerto Rico and its people.

Dear friends and family,
As most of you might know, last year the island of Puerto Rico was destroyed by hurricanes Irma and Maria. The citizens were left without electricity and water for months on end, and their possessions and homes destroyed. Even over a year later, many people are still in desperate need of supplies and get no government help or funding.  There are children and families living in their destroyed homes with tarps as a roof, dirt floors, no beds, etc. Over February break, we are going to Puerto Rico to visit some of these communities in need and help several families rebuild a more hurricane proof home. In addition, we hope to bring mattresses and stoves to families in desperate need of help. We are asking for donations to help fund the purchase of building materials and other important supplies needed. The donations will go through Teens4PR a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting Puerto Ricans recover after the devastating damage. You can learn more about their mission by visiting their website: https://www.teens4pr.org. No donation is too small and everything helps! We are so excited to go to Puerto Rico and do our small part to help rebuild this beautiful country!

Lots of Love, 

Lexy and Skye
